This is a new thread to follow the travels of these three young ospreys from the Loch Garten nest.
Oighrig
This male juvenile is the elder of the 2013 brood, hatched on 25th May and fledged on 16th July.
Oighrig’s ring is Blue/white CF5
Breagha
Also male, the younger of the 2013 brood, hatched 28th May and fledged on 19th July.
Breagha’s ring is Blue/white CF4.
LG blog on the ringing and tagging of Oighrig & Breagha
Caledonia
Hatched on 16th May 2012, fledged on 14th July and left Loch Garten on 19th August.
The travels of Caledonia and her sister Alba were first followed in this thread, now closed. Caledonia is the first juvenile osprey tracked from Loch Garten to settle in Europe; she has been living on the northern outskirts of Seville for nearly a year now.
Caledonia’s ring is Blue/White AA1, reading downwards. LG blog on the ringing and tagging of Caledonia & Alba.
I don't believe it, LOL.... its now working again. Obviously this Site is still not back to normal!

Yes it is really unpredictable Mary. Seems to vary from person to person too.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Thanks Chloe for confirming its not just me. Not worth bothering about now is it, if it works it works if it doesn't we have to go in the long way! It keeps us on our toes. :-)
Thanks Sue. It just goes to show how difficult it is to maintain the status quo. Traditional paddy fields, which I assume require fresh water, providing food and labour, versus regeneration of mangroves which live happily in salty water and encourage fish and oysters, which presumably also provide food and jobs. The mangroves provide roosts and safety for osprey, as well as fish. I rather liked the heading of article: mangroves bring wildlife back to the Senegalese coast.

Breagh has led a charmed life. In normal years he would not even have existed.
Tiger Signature
Don't remind me Tiger! But that part of EJ's history does have a habit of repeating itself!
Breagha's range and fixes for February:
Latest fixes for Breagha:
A new blog from Richard, on the area where Oighrig was last heard from.
John Wright of the Rutland Water team has been there, and sent a report and photos. It was not possible to get to the exact "last spot" as it was covered by a seasonal wetland.
Thank you, SUE :-)
